Description
Endoptychum is a unique group of fungi that initially grows underground. As it matures, it emerges partially above the soil surface. Its spores develop inside a closed, ball-like structure rather than on exposed gills. This adaptation helps protect the spores from drying out in arid environments where endoptychum is often found.
